Events That Are On Right Now!

[OILFAN #81]

All the good skaters are up. Wotherspoon in 5th with 6 pairings left. Two Canadians still to come (Parrott and Morrison).

The women really can't win with anyone, can they? They get ragged on for winning and massively outscoring their opponents. They score goals, they get ragged on for the way they celebrate. And if they were to lose, they'd probably get ragged on for being Canadians and not winning at 'Canada's sport.'

I don't blame them for being excited about scoring, I don't blame them for being excited about winning at the Olympics. I don't blame them for being excited about the one time where they get any kind of recognition for what they do on a national/global scale.

Parrott skating next!

If there is one constant in the pattern of where I see society heading, it's that people love to complain and belittle everything, and I do mean everything. Even good things.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take away from their right to feel good about being in the Olympics... I'm just saying that acting like they just won the Gold after scoring the 18th goal in an 18-0 game against a team that can't even skate is a bit much.

Not much of a contender. 16th. Wotherspoon in 7th for the moment but will drop.

[OILFAN #81]

Bum in 1st. Looking for another gold. That dude is FAST.

[Hammertime]

How the heck did this happen?

The post was OK, but I don't even think that many people know who shaun white is, let along posters on this board.

Yup. Canada's last hope is with Morrison.

Don't look now, but you're currently doing the same thing you just posted about.

Here's a little secret... I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes a "complaint" isn't really a complaint at all. Sometimes it's just an observation.

Pretty neat, hey?

[3 Justin 3]

Denny up now.

[3 Justin 3]

Denny is the best medal contender out of all our Canadians.

Wow, well he sucked.

Yah, I didn't like my argument too much either.

Here are the top 5 watched events in the past few days. I think it shows while women's hockey does do well in viewship, it isn't close to being one of the most watched events during the Olympics.

As expected, no Canadians medal in the 1000 m's.

Wotherspoon in 12th, Morrison in 13th, Roberge in 18th, Parrott in 22nd with 1 pair left.

[trackercowe]

If only Davis would change his citizenship.

[Table 5]

It's gotta be a disappointing games so far for our speed skaters.

Pretty good day for the U.S so far.

[3 Justin 3]

Shani Davis gets it done and gets the Gold.

[IceMan]

Crap. You can add another 2 medals for the US. Shani is amazing though.

[OILFAN #81]

Wow, what a race by Davis of the US. US finishes 1-3 and now has 12 medals to lead the Olympics.

[3 Justin 3]

USA is still going to medal in the halfpipe too. Dammit!

Is anyone showing the halfpipe?
